The set i have seem to be pretty decent, however im currently using an epox 9nda3+ mobo. I was just wondering if it is possible that this board could be holding them back compared to what a dfi mobo could do?
These sticks love cas 2.5. I think everyone should try it as you might be surprised. However I'm wondering if being to run cas 2.5 at say 250fsb is more dependant on the memory controller or possibly the stick themselves.
Could be controller specific, I couldn't do 2.5 with my Opteron at an acceptable frequency. I believe the cpu is strong, my ZX just weaker at 2.5.
I have confirmed that a San Diego core running 2750 MHz @ 2.5-3-3-8 @ DDR500 benches almost identically to a Venus core running 2850 MHz @ 3-3-2-5 @ DDR520. In my case, I can't run 2.5 on my GSkills at 275x(9/10) so there is no point in attempting it anymore. 2850 @ 3 will simply beat any 2.5 speed I am capable of running...

Received my 2GB ZX from Newegg yesterday. Running at DDR500 at 3-6-3-3 at 2.65V on Abit IC7-G with CPU 2.8C at 3.5.
:banana: These sticks are amazing.
I'm waiting for the sale they had a week ago.
Folks I had to come back to this thread to rescind my eartlier post and apologize for my frustration. I researched and changed some settings and have been testing at 240 1/1 for the past day. Ceratinly a great deal for the $$, glad that I waited on ordering some diff brand sticks!
No, your sticks love cas 2.5, not all of them.Quote:

Seems to be stable at 243 @ cas2.5 & 2.8v though, which is probably what I'll be running 24/7 after I see how it goes later.
Not bad for value sticks! I'll be trying cas3 tonight. :)
These sticks could probably go higher if I had a DFI board, but I don't...
Bah I hate you people, my sticks can't even come close to your results :(
I think I'll cry for a bit.. *sob sob*
I just got 2 sets of zx last night. Threw them in and without tweaking was able to get both sets, one set at a time, to do about 262-263. Will start tweaking to see just how far they will go.

I guess I can start kicking myself for not getting in on the sale price. :censored:Quote:

Hi,
I have received my set of 2gb GBZX yesterday .
After some test , I pass memtest86+ v.1.65 ( with dfi nf4 expert) @ 250 3-3-2-5 (GS technician timing in first post) ~ 2.9v (2.92 under bios - 2.87 under smartguardian) standart test during 7h00 + , but when I run windows memtest (memtest under windows) during the first minute I got error ( I put 2 instances of 915 mo as the software seems not to be able of running more in one instance ), so my question is , could it be due to my memory controler ? I have tried all voltage from 2.6v to 2.9v but nothing help under windows , now trying 2.66v under memtest86+ , will see...) .
Don't know if I need to change the ram setting , if so , what way should I try to catch more stability under windows ?
Any input is welcome, thanks.
Ah heres the right post I was trying to post in hehe.
Well I got some of these modules coming today. God love FedEx express saver and newegg, 2 day delivery always hehe. I was originally going to get these before everyone started saying the ballistix is the best. Ya best chance at failing in the board with rated speeds and voltages, let alone burning hot.
Looking forward to seeing what these can do when I get them, and thanks for the review, basically got me saying, where do I buy these hehe, like I should of done in the first place.
are you using 915 mobo? i am not sure if the setting on 915 mobo should be same or not! let me know more~ thx
has anybody else done 255 at cas 2.5 like Tibu??? from what i've seen 265/270 is max oc at cas 3...

No intel board , I'm using the new dfi nf4 expert , but when I start the windows memtest and try to test all my unused memory it pop up me a message where it advise me that as it can't run more than 915mo ;if I want to test all my memory ,I need to open a second instance for an other 915mo , may be I don't need to run this second instance ?
I'm talking about this memtest :

Now the ram have succeed 2 full standart pass in memtest86+ ~ 3h00 @ 250 (3-3-2-5) with only 2.66v (bios setting).
Need I to increase the nf4 volt or ldt voltage ?
yes i might need to using two memtest to test but make sure not over the "phyical memory not use value" on task manager. :)
also, if you only needs 2.66v to work it, that will be great! i used 2.9v only for 273FSB but i remember i used lower such as 2.7v to run around 250FSB :)
if any question let me know

How bout you make them just have some in stock before 12/9 which is their ETA.
They've been in stock: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231032
My latest result: http://members.cox.net/mucker/GSkill/OPTFPMW3.jpg
m :)
Ya they are in stock ordered mine on Wednesday and there still up there.
Yeah, they were out of stock when I checked earlier today with ETA of 12/9. I'm still waiting on a refund from Newegg for the mess up they made with my order. I hope it stays in stock.
That looks about where my sticks are headed... I guess we got sticks from the same batch over newegg's BF. :pQuote:
